BALANCE OF TRADE. (See also Imports and Exports.) Exports of domestic products are considered

an indication of national prosperity, as showing what the people can spare from their own livlng, and what means they have with which to purchase foreign commodities.

Hence, it is desirable that the balance of trade should be in our favor, and not against us.

Mr. Cleveland succeeded in 1884, and we held the balance of trade for two years during his term, so that we have a total of $171,947,891 excess of exports for the whole number of years, (fifty-six) in which the Democrats had control, while the excess of imports amounted to $1,124,741,034.
